Making Money with MidJourney: Exploring the Possibilities
By now, you have seen all of the amazing products that Midjourney can produce. You’re probably wondering two things: first, will artists lose their jobs? Second, how can I use MidJourney to my advantage? I want to focus on the latter. There are tons of opportunities for everyone, including artists.
What MidJourney really does is produce a quality product in much less time. However, we are still far from having everything come out exactly the way you want it by just pushing a button.
The good news for you, who are reading this blog post right now, is that whenever a new technology comes out, you can specialize in it to take advantage of the hype.
Here are some ways to get started making money with MidJourney:
Creative Content Creation
If you need to come up with something for a blog post, Kickstarter, website, or anything else, MidJourney is a good place to start. At the very least, you can use it to brainstorm ideas. You can spend hours in MidJourney creating content and getting ideas.
I recommend saving all of your images on the cloud so you can access them later. I also recommend writing down the prompts you use in MidJourney. To achieve the desired result, you may need to write a lot of text in the prompt, and it can be easy to forget.
E-commerce
E-commerce is the best way to turn your passions into a career. The possibilities are endless. This is an excellent area to specialize in. You can take products and create different e-commerce images for your portfolio. Once you have a strong portfolio, you can charge for your work.
Remember that big companies need to specialize their tasks. One of those specialties could be you, the MidJourney image product expert. They still need someone to make the images, and the CEO will not be doing most of the work.
This is where you come in. To excel in this job, I recommend spending at least 1 hour a day for the next 30 days. Once you’ve done that, select your top 10 best images and use them in your portfolio.
Art and Design
Think of MidJourney as a tool, a very sophisticated tool, but a tool nonetheless. A few years ago, big corporations used to have teams of people doing calculations. Once computers came along, many of these people lost their jobs. However, there are still people using computers for calculations. The computer has replaced the work of many people in a fraction of the time.
MidJourney is the same for art. Instead of spending 100 hours on a project, you can spend 20 minutes. You can create art and sell it on your own site. You can add highly detailed drawings for a children’s book. If you enter the word “blueprint” as the prompt, you can get amazing blueprint art of anything.
Game Development
You can create custom characters and textures in MidJourney, making game development easier. Combined with the power of the Unreal Engine, you could be on your way to creating a top-grossing game on Steam or the App Store.
Training and Consulting
If you made it this far, congratulations. This is the part where you should pay close attention. As mentioned earlier, whenever a new technology emerges, there is a shortage of talent because no one knows how to leverage it. We have seen this in other “gold rushes,” such as the mobile gold rush of the early 2010s and the crypto gold rush.
There is absolutely going to be an AI gold rush. In fact, it started years ago, and now when everything is getting interesting.
